Getting rid of the Rotten

Chapter 7: Getting rid of the Rotten

The next morning Emily was starting to wake up from a deep and long sleep, feeling refreshed and alive she took a look around and didn't find Jeff anywhere in the room. Where was he? I mean, not that she cared but still...where could he be?
" Good morning, my love." A low and dark voice came from the corner of the room along with a sharpening sound of a knife. Emily panicked for a split second and then went at ease realizing it was just Jeff." Scared you didn't I?" Jeff said and giggled at the end. Emily took a deep breath and exhaled, she looked at Jeff who was covered in blood, fresh blood.
" Jeff...what did you do last night?"
" Oh, that reminds me I brought you something." Jeff said, reached into the bag, and pulled out an apple. Emily was surprised and confused, where did he get the apple?
" Jeff where did you get that?" Emily asked.
" I went out last night, killed, and stole...for you."
" You did what?!" Emily freaked out.
" I put them to bed, it was nap time for our friendly neighbors." Jeff said and took a bite out of an apple he took out of the bag. Emily walked over to him and slowly grabbed the apple he offered her and took a bite, and then started to consume the whole thing after not eating all day yesterday.
" What else do you have?" Emily asked still hungry. Jeff opened the bag and let her search through all the food and...bathroom stuff? She didn't question the other things all she cared about was the food.
" I'm sorry it's not much," Jeff said in a some what sad tone," but it was all I could really find...it was a small trailer, I'm sorry." Jeff said looking disappointed at himself.
" It's alright Jeff, I can survive with this for now. We'll try not to eat as much." Emily said and started eating a piece of bread. Jeff swung his body up and wrapped himself around Emily in a hug; oh great, another hug.
" I promised you I'd take care of you, whenever I disappear at night don't you ever think I abandoned you! I would never abandon you! I love you way too much to do something shitty like that!" Jeff said. Emily looked away for a moment and then looked back at Jeff who's face was in her neck, he sounded as if he was asleep.
" Jeff? Jeff are you okay?"
" Never been better..." Jeff said.
" You seem tired..." Emily stopped her sentence after realizing about his eyelids.
" I don't need sleep!" Jeff growled at Emily," sleep is for those who can't handle it! I'm not weak!" He growled once more, Emily broke free from his grip and ran into the other room and hid until he was calm. Jeff then realized what he did and instantly went after his love." Emily! Emily please come back! I'm sorry I didn't meant to yell at you please!...please don't go in the third room." Jeff said as he continued to search for her.
Emily hid in a corner of a really dark room; the room smelt weird, the floor felt wet, and it was scaring her a lot. Emily got up and looked for a light switch to see what was all over the floor." There's gotta be one arou-" she bumped into a string that she knew was a light switch-" finally! Jeez now I can see what's all over the-" she stopped her sentence when she realized what was all over the place. There was blood all over the floor and walls, she looked over and saw dead bodies in the other corner of the room. Emily immediately turned white, her eyes grew ten times their size, and her stomach dropped down to the next floor. She let out a blood hurling scream; a scream so loud the whole neighborhood could practically hear her, not good.
Jeff heard the scream and instantly ran to the room she was in, he kicked the door down, and tackled her, but not to the ground. He shield her eyes and covered her mouth to tame her.
" It's okay Emily! Calm down-relax!" Jeff said as he took her out of the room. Emily fought back with all her might, she kicked, wiggled, and tried to break free from his grip. Jeff held her tighter and tighter to try and get her to relax, but she refused. Jeff's urge to stab her in the throat was growing more and more as she fought back with him, he tried his hardest to not pull the knife out on her.
" Let me go! Let me go you bastard! Get off of me! You freak of nature!" Emily yelled at him ad she punched him repeatedly and kicked his side. Jeff knew this couldn't go on any longer so he did the only thing he could do. He yanked her toward him and pinned her down.
" You've been a bad girl Emily...you need to be punished." He said and pulled out a shot.
Emily gasped loudly and tried her best to break free, but she was getting tired and weak and Jeff was stronger than her so she knew that he'd won this fight. Jeff took the cap off with his teeth, spit it across the room, and inserted the shot straight into her neck where she instantly fell asleep. Jeff giggled as he rocked her sleepy body back and forward in his arms.
" What'd I tell you Emily? I told you not to go into the third room...didn't I tell you that?" He said softly in her ear still rocking her. His giggling turned into laughter as the urge to kill rose more and more every second.
He shortly put Emily down and went out to hunt for someone to satisfy his urge. He ran out and into the woods as fast as his legs could go (which was pretty fast) he hid behind a bush and waited...patiently. It was early in the morning so he assumed that someone had to come along eventually, maybe a school student or a worker. Then he saw him...Emily's boyfriend. He had headphones in and walked at a steady pace to school; does he even know that Emily is missing? Probably not! What a douche-bag! He's the kind of person that deserved to die. Jeff waited for the right moment to drag him into the woods and stab the shit out of him.
When he got close enough Jeff jumped out of the bush, grabbed the boy, and dragged him back into the woods. The dude fought back and tried to scream for help, but Jeff had his mouth covered with his hand and continued dragging him through the woods.
" You wanna play with me pretty boy?" Jeff asked sarcastically and laughed historically; normally Jeff would attack at night so people wouldn't suspect as much, but he couldn't control it...he had to kill.
" You don't deserve her! You never deserved her! She's mine-all mine!-" Jeff shoved his blade straight in his neck-" and no one is going to take her away from me."

Emily woke up from a weird feeling that something was wrong. Her vision was extremely blurry and the world was spinning around her, well, at least that's what it felt like. She tried to stand up but the spinning and bad vision was so bad she couldn't even moved, until everything was clear; it took about 15 minutes, and eventually she could see her own hand and even sit up straight...but can she stand? She got up from the bed and stood on her own feet for about three minutes to catch her balance and then slowly started walking to look around. She walked down the hallway still feeling the walls beside her, when she felt a big gap the wall she knew that it was a doorway and decided check out the room. She continued to feel around the room and found a light switch, she flicked it on and dropped down on her knees from the bright light that shined down in her eye; she shield her eyes and stood on the floor.
" My darling?! What are you doing up?" she heard. She recognized that voice anywhere, it was Jeff. She tried her best to stand up to run away from him, but she was too weak and dizzy too.
" Emily what are you doing out of bed?" Jeff asked lifting her up from the floor," come on baby lets get you back in bed. You look exhausted darling." Jeff said as he carried her back to their room and laid her down in bed." Its okay baby don't be scared."
Emily starting shaking ad breathing hard and fast." It's okay! it's okay darling don't be scared! its just me, Jeff!" he covered her with a blanket,
" there, now you won't be cold; you felt really cold when I picked you up." Jeff said and held her in his arms and kissed her forehead.
" Jeff." Emily said quietly.
" Yes, darling?" Jeff answered.
" Will you really take care of me?" She asked still feeling sleepy and dizzy.
" Of course dear. That's a silly question to ask, you know I will always take care of you." Jeff said. He laid her back down in bed and walked towards the door." Oh by the way Emily I saw that douche-bag today...don't worry baby, he won't get the way of us anymore," Jeff started to laugh as he slowly stepped out the doorway and close the door halfway still revealing his face," I put him down for bed." He said, giggled, and shut the door. Emily had tears running down her face as she drifted back to sleep.
